There was quite a fall in cream last
Wednesday. 1t came about in this
way: Mr.. Gates, who assists r. l..
Fairbanks in collecting cream for the
creamery, was just returning from a
trip, and when descending the hill at
Jack Sackett's, the grit which holds
the shafts broke. The horse became
unmanageable. He made direct line
for the creamery and just before reach
ing that place the king bolt came out,
and then there was a general tumble
all around. "Orseme " landed safely
among some bushes rod or two from
the scene of the disaster and the
horses fetched up near the building,
while the forward and rear ends of the
wagon had a wrestle as to which
should get there first. 1t was nip and
tuck with both ends. First, the for
ward end had the lead and then the
rear end took it. After turning over
and over a couple of times it was
called draw, both ends getting there
at about the same time, not, however,
until the contents Of the wagon, about
100 pounds of cream, had been vel
spread all over the scene and the wag
on pretty thoroughly demolished
The horse escaped with slight injuries
Orseme was pretty well shaken VI
and considerably frightened.
